Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the study was to gauge the extent to which early 21st-century general Polish, spoken and written, was saturated with English lexical material. English lexical loans extracted from an over 58-hour recording of everyday conversational Polish were analysed with the use of the NKJP corpus tools (nkjp. pl). The findings are broadly consistent with the results of previous, micro-corpus-based research in that English lexical influence on the turn-of-the-millennium Polish appears to have been much less extensive than is commonly believed.
